The original was perfectly fine, but I guess everything has to be remade these days. Whatever.

Is it technically a remake or just another adaptation of the comic strip though?

I mean, it came out the year after Tim Burton's Batman and since then we've had a further 6 Batman movies. We've also had a Spider-man trilogy and another origin movie. We've had one Superman movie and another on its way. Etc etc. So it's not like this character is over-exposed.
